"A picture of my most treasured item."
My great-grandmother, Mathilde Emilie,
brought cookies on this small platter
to my grandmother, Martha Marie,
when her youngest child was born.
My mother remembered it well.

(This was a really tough one: I have so many treasured items! My Bible, my mother's cedar chest made by her brother in high school shop class, my embroidered "birth certificate" done by my aunt, my mother's christening certificate, the Prayer Shawl crocheted for me by my sister, the book Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, autographed by Joan Fontaine and Lawrence Olivier, given to me by my other sister...the list goes on!)
